Borgo Dei Conti Resort Relais & Chateaux Overview
First Impressions
When you first pull up to Borgo Dei Conti Resort Relais & Chateaux, you honestly forget you’re just twenty minutes from Perugia’s center. The winding road through the Monte Petriolo countryside builds anticipation, and then suddenly there’s this restored medieval village perched on a hilltop. I mean, the setting alone makes you understand why this five-star property earned its Relais & Chateaux status — it’s luxury that actually feels rooted in history, not manufactured.
The Equestrian Experience
What sets this place apart for horse lovers is their genuine commitment to equestrian excellence. The stables house beautiful horses, and the instructors — well, they’re locals who grew up riding these Umbrian hills. You can book everything from gentle trail rides through olive groves to more challenging excursions toward Assisi on clear days. The indoor arena means you’re never weather-dependent, which is honestly pretty rare in this part of Italy.
Accommodations and Dining
My room was in one of the converted stone buildings, with thick walls that keep everything cool even in summer heat. The interiors blend medieval architecture with modern luxury — think heated bathroom floors and rainfall showers, but with original wooden beams overhead. The main restaurant sources ingredients from their own gardens and local farms, and you know what? Their truffle dishes during season are exceptional, even by Umbrian standards.
Wellness and Activities
The spa occupies what used to be the village’s ancient cellars, creating this atmospheric underground retreat. After a long day in the saddle, the treatment rooms carved into medieval stone walls feel pretty magical. Beyond riding, there’s a gorgeous pool area with panoramic valley views, and the resort organizes cooking classes where you’ll actually learn techniques from the chef — not just tourist-friendly basics.
Why Guests Love It
Honestly, it’s the combination of authentic Italian countryside luxury with serious equestrian facilities that makes Borgo Dei Conti special. You’re staying in a place with genuine history (parts date back to the 13th century), but everything works perfectly — the Wi-Fi, the parking, even the air conditioning. Most horse-focused hotels either feel rustic to a fault or sterile and modern, but this one strikes that perfect balance where you feel pampered without losing the rural Italian charm.

This was the most incredible property we have ever stayed at! Every inch was perfection!
Taiba from Kuwait (28 April 2025)
The place is amazing, such a beautiful getaway in the middle of nowhere, perfect for some time alone to disconnect and just be. The staff were very accommodating, and the food was perfect.
What could be improved: Nothing.

What could be improved: Nothing
Danny from Italy (13 October 2024)
We liked that there is not a breakfast buffet, but personal table service. Restaurant Cedri is a gem with an interesting approach to combinations. We also liked very much the effort that has been taken with an integrated architectural style, very well done. What could be improved: I hope the place will not be marketed to and flooded with loud,...
Stav from Israel (25 September 2024)
We recently stayed at this stunning hotel for our honeymoon, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. The welcome was warm, and the attention to detail was remarkable. The room was immaculate, spacious, and elegantly decorated, with breathtaking views that set the...

What could be improved: The Michelin restaurant was a disaster. Bad experience

What a wonderful stay. Borgo Dei Conti is a paradise to stay at. We enjoyed every part of it. From the great wellness, great food and the unique romantic dinner to the amazing hospitality. Special thanks to the manager Antonello for the amazing hospitality.

Dmitry from United Arab Emirates (28 July 2025)
Careful restoration of the rooms, design in general, property condition (park, pool, etc). Great condition of historical building.
What could be improved: The total feeling of the stay and communication is a bit formal - not like you expect from a private hotel in the countryside
Maxwell-gulli from Australia (27 April 2025)
The main drawcard is the stunning renovation. The building itself and the interior design are spectacular. Unfortunately we were there at the end of April only a week or so after the season opening and it was a little too quiet. Our first night at dinner there were only another two people and it just felt awkward. The restaurant staff were...
